What Do You See When You Shut Your Eyes?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Durham. Children see, hear, sing, and yell different things in response to the title and to other questions related to the senses; the questions are then directed back to the reader. The book's tiny trim size is appealing, but its faux-naive gouache and ink illustrations, spots set on backgrounds of saturated color, lack balance and contribute to the twee treatment.
